agree with 1st answer
what abt second??

The onset of the illness is insidious, the first signs are behavioural disturbances or a decline in school performance. Not infrequently the family are told that the cause is “psychological”. Progression of the illness will vary from child to child but evidence that this is a more serious illness usually begins with loss of motor control and co-ordination. This often starts with characteristic jerking movements which may at first appear as clumsiness. These jerking movements are known as myoclonic seizures. Grand mal (also called tonic-clonic) seizures may also occur. As the condition worsens problems with swallowing and speech develop, and vision may be impaired.

so we could have any sort of neurodefecit--then which to chhose n why??
